Description
Meet Max - the little boy with the big imagination! A story about imagination, story telling, sharing and swapping! DJ Samuel is a famous author, and Max adores DJ's books. Max wants to write something just as good himself, so he sends a letter to DJ asking for advice. Through the touching and funny correspondence that follows we learn not only how to write a story, but also that there is more to Max than a big imagination. And as DJ helps Max out, her next book begins to take on an unexpected shape!
